    I look forward to when the second part has been transcribed. There was a fair bit of good stuff again. Anthony and Laurie really drew as much information out from Matalas as they possibly could without ruining the friendly vibe they all had going on.

    Matalas predicts Season 3 will be totally in the bag by late September. As in, everything. He doesn’t know why the higher-ups are holding it until early next year, but kind of wishes it could be a “holiday gift” instead.

    The interviewers managed to get him to confirm that a potential post-Picard show is not one of the shows that’s in active production. I doubt that’s surprising, but still. That said, @Danja was clearly applying some kind of voodoo magic, because Anthony and Laurie were very much insinuating they’re curious if a certain character would helm such a series. ;) (And Terry caught on pretty quickly, and knowingly.)

    That said, there are ongoing discussions with TPTB. “There are always discussions,” ha.

    For his part, Terry pretty much centered on the idea that this is, first and foremost, a TNG finale. But it is also about passing the torch, the next next generation and all that, and we will be meeting some new characters as a result. If fans want more where that came from, they will just have to get loud like with Strange New Worlds. He says he hopes fans respond positively to the newer characters, and believes we probably will.

    Money probably. They want to spread all the shows out so people who watch everything Trek will subscribe longer.

    Yeah, you’re probably right, of course. RIP.

    Don't pin this on me! :guffaw:

    (See what I did there? I kill me! :D ;) )

    I'm a good little Trekkie. I don't do that sort of thing. :angel: ;)

    In all seriousness, if there WAS anything going on, I doubt he would say anything (NDA and all that).

    I hope you're right. If nothing else, I wonder what they're going to have on the slate for late 2023/early 2024 without PIC around. They have to have something in the pipeline.

    there is always Section 31. And Kurtzman always seems to bring up a Starfleet Academy show.

    Good luck getting Michelle Yeoh (she's going to be tough to nail down for a series).

    I'm assuming he's talking about something other than S31 and Starfleet Academy (they're both known quantities -- there's no need to tiptoe around them).

    My guess is Starfleet Academy gets revealed in the next few months, First Contact Day 2023 at the latest, and drops early 2024.

    Assuming zero overlap and zero weeks off, which we already know is by no means a given but this is why I don’t make the big bucks etc, here is my mental estimate on how things go down from next week’s Lower Decks season premiere forward.

    LD3: 25 August - 27 October
    PRO1.5: 3 November - 5 January
    PIC3: 12 January - 16 March
    SNW2: 23 March - 25 May
    DIS5: 1 June - 3 August
    LD4: 10 August - 12 October
    PRO2.0: 19 October - 21 December

    Totally pie-in-the-sky, and with obvious sequential guesswork, but I guess my point is that we could see the next new show in early 2024 and only really get a handle on what the heck it is a year or so off from launch.

    (Someone feel free to fact-check my dates; I’m running on fumes IRL right now,)

    What generates more clicks and speculation?

    This is all probably how it's going to go. Give or take a few weeks.

    I'll add to your predictions and say a new ongoing 25th Century series will be announced during PIC Season 3, to replace Picard.

    and I would be surprised if that series isn’t Starfleet Academy.

    It's heavy on the Disco-verse. :shifty:

    We have Strange New Worlds (Disco spinoff), S31 (another Disco spinoff), and Starfleet Academy (yet ANOTHER Disco spinoff).

    S31 and SA might've made sense back in 2019 (when they were first announced). Back then, Disco was the only thing around.

    Now, the Disco-verse risks being top-heavy.

    Michelle Yeoh is 60. By the time Secret Hideout catches up to her, the woman's going to be eligible for Social Security! :rolleyes:

    Scheduling would be my guess. They've been trying to keep only one Trek series running at a time aside from the odd week or three overlap like what we got with Picard season 2. So with Lower Decks premiering next week that should go until October. If the rumors are true and Prodigy returns right after, that should take us all the way up to Christmas. After that, they take a break for the holidays and then launch season 3 afterwards.
    Personally, I have my doubts Section 31 is ever happening. And while Starfleet Academy would technically be a Disco spinoff, it would at least be different by expanding on the 32nd century setting, whereas SNW is set in the 23rd.

    I'm kind of amazed at the disassociation some people have, acting as if SNW isn't a DSC spin-off... But that's a whole other topic.

    Terry has spoken fondly of directing Jeri Ryan in the final episode.

    I'm assuming Seven and Raffi are going to live. It would be rather ghoulish of him to speak fondly of killing Seven off. :shifty:


    Starfleet Academy has already been revealed. Now, it's a matter of if they're going through with production.

    So much has happened since 2019:

    • In 2019, P+ didn't exist.
    • Netflix was still licensing Trek (That's no longer the case. Everything is now on P+.)
    • The CW has canceled over half its lineup (Charmed, Riverdale, Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, BH90210, Dynasty, Batwoman ... All gone.)

    fondly working with the actor and killing off the character are two different things.

    I’d be shocked if they killed off Seven or any of the TNG crew but I think the rest are on the table.

    Most of the odds are going towards either Worf and/or Riker getting the axe (this is supposed the final go-round for the TNG crew).

    Then again, Sir Patrick has spoken of wanting to do ANOTHER movie with the TNG crew. :rolleyes:

    Coming Soon to P+ :

    Star Trek 11: The Absolute Last Time! (We Mean It ... Really! Seriously, We Do! We're Not Kidding This Time!) :lol:

    TNG is beginning to compete with Elton John and Barbra Streisand for the most farewell tours. :rolleyes:

    You know, when I was studying drama having a death scene was considered a high point in a acting.

    In Star Trek death is part of their job.

    P+ is just a rebranding of CBSAA, so it did exist. Unless you mean outside of the USA.
